As someone who has liked Newt, I'm extremely disappointed. I just hope his predictions don't come true. One area I'm afraid Tony may NOT be right, is that I DO think there are tipping points. Politics is slow but it does move swiftly when the right focal point is reached. (e.g., the 1994 House recapture, etc.) I am worried that Katrina was one such point; there are others. I'm convinced the President is doing the best he can but it's not being sold and at some point the water on the see-saw gets too heavy and it goes down. What I'm worried about now is that even when we try to communicate it's getting harder for people to listen. I HOPE they are seeing how ridiculous the DUmmies are being but there is an awful lot of anxiety out there. But REMEMBER: if we LET the DUmmies win in '06, we'll have impeachment of the President for the next two years followed by Hillary(?) after.
Can you imagine hearing the words Speaker of the House Pelosi and Chairman of the Judiciary Committee Leahy?
